The Alliance guide was created to clarify the essential requirements within the NIST publication and to provide recommendations for PACS implementers interested in implementing PIV-enabled PIVS.

"The Alliance has had a long history of providing guidance on safe technology standards, best practices and adoption in government," said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of Secure Technology Alliance. "As technology becomes more complex, there is a greater need for security to be incorporated into every device, product and service in the federal space." With this, the Alliance has become a forum for the federal government and the Technology executives to discuss current challenges, identify possible solutions and answer questions about government identity management initiatives. "

This guide summarizes the key information in the NIST publication and:

Describes the characteristics of the implementation of PIV, including interoperability qualities and infrastructure requirements.

Provides recommendations for effective mitigation techniques.

Describes PIV authentication methods in PACS applications, with a focus on authentication factors and credential validation

Examines real-life PACS implementation recommendations based on the experience of industry professionals who have implemented PIV credentials with PACS

This guide was developed by Secure Technology Alliance. AccessControladvice. The Secure Technology Alliance Access Control Board focuses on accelerating the acceptance, use and widespread application of secure technologies in various physical and digital factors for logical and physical access control as applicable to both individuals and entities they are not people The group brings together, in an open forum, opinion leaders, manufacturers and implementers from the public and private sectors. The Council identifies topical areas that encourage the use of technologies that are important to the access control community.
